## Introduction
|
||
|
||
Welcome to the Apple ecosystem.
|
||
|
||
I became an Apple fanboy a long time ago. Around 2010. At first, my main reason was their well built products. I am a computer worker and hence, I have to use one every day. Having used many plastic bombers in my life, switching to a MacBook felt great. I got the tiny MacBook Air in 2010. It had a tiny screen and was very mobile. But it was still super usable, because it had a proper keyboard. And Apple’s touchpads are just very, very good. Long story short: It’s just very nice to use a well built product everyday.
|
||
|
||
After I started using said MacBook and became more acquainted with macOS and the other Apple software products, I realized one thing: the quality is not only in the hardware. It’s also software. And furthermore, there are app developers that specifically target macOS and its design and organizational language, that makes their software also very, very good.
|
||
|
||
This book teaches you two things:
|
||
|
||
1. What all the Apple apps actually are and what functions they provide and
|
||
2. how to integrate and use them in everyday life for everything.
|
||
|
||
The Reason this Book is useful now
|
||
|
||
In the last major update cycle a new app joined the roster of Apple apps: Freeform.
|
||
|
||
This September will bring the release of macOS Sonoma (macOS 14), iOS 17 and iPadOS 17. It will bring a few incremental updates to the various Apple apps that increases their power level in a way that I can confidently say that they can replace your whole personal organizational tool stack. This holds true whether you already have one or are a complete beginner. You can organize your whole life without spending a cent extra for software.
|
||
|
||
Every app will become even more accessible as well.
|
||
|
||
This book will cover the following Apple apps in detail:
|
||
|
||
* Notes
|
||
* Reminders
|
||
* Calendar
|
||
* Freeform
|
||
* Mail
|
||
* Messages
|
||
* FaceTime
|
||
|
||
It will teach about system level configuration:
|
||
|
||
* Focus States
|
||
* Notification management
|
||
|
||
Advanced usage and automation:
|
||
|
||
* Shortcuts
|
||
|
||
It will give an overview for the following apps:
|
||
|
||
* Preview
|
||
* Pages
|
||
* Number
|
||
* Keynote
|
||
* Opinion: 4:3
|
||
|
||
And it will tease a few programs you could have a use case for:
|
||
|
||
* GarageBand
|
||
* iMovie
|
||
|
||
There are also a few third-party apps that are noteworthy for sticking close to Apples design principles. These are mostly not free, but worth buying to further integrate into the workflow:
|
||
|
||
* StopTheMadness
|
||
* 1Password
|
||
|
||
Collaboration
|
||
|
||
## Reminders
|
||
|
||
Reminders — at first glance — is just a simple todo app. This basic functionality is accessible very easily.
|
||
|
||
As is the theme with this book, we will focus on the more advanced ways of using the app.

||
